5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accor-
dance with the manufacturers instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat reg-
isters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third
grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for
your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your out-
let, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched partic-
ularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-
over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these
materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the
appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure dam-
aged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommend-
ed international global safety standards for tilt and stability prop-
erties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-
sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic
equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product
damage and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna
is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, loca-
tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure
through openings.comply with recommended international global
safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet
design.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage
that may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to
the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked
on the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline,
etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long
time.
Note to the CATV system installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as practical.
